If you are an electrical worker working without the benefit
of representation of a collective bargaining agent, then maybe some of these questions will raise concerns for you and your family.
Do you know and understand your rights as a worker under the National Labor Relation Act?
Are you receiving a fair wage for your labor?
Are you sure of the wage you receive
from job to job?
Are you working under safe working conditions?
Are you treated with respect and dignity by your employer?
Are you covered by an employer paid pension plan?
Do you have post journeyman training in different aspects of the trade, e.g., PLC's, Motor Controls, Instrumentation etc...
Even with hundreds of IBEW electricians continuing to retire with the dignity that collectively bargained employer paid pensions provide, the number of IBEW electricians continues to increase.
These new members are now enjoying the many CHOICES that IBEW membership affords them.
The CHOICE of working for hundreds of contractors providing good wages and employer paid i
nsurance and pension plans.
The CHOICE of working for their
present employer until the IBEW can find them something better.
The CHOICE of helping to organize their present employer so they, too, will provide good wages and benefits.
The
CHOICE of learning what their rights are under the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Standards Act, and other laws that protect workers.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
deals with these issues on a daily basis. The IBEW will answer any question on these issues or give you information on any issue which concerns you as an electrical worker
